From a unitedstatesian: please tell our diplomats to fuck off, emphatically. GDPR is a fucking godsend, and I wish it applied to us over on this side of the pond.

My condolences.

As a Californian damned to live under this shithole of an empire, I would also like to encourage Europeans to tar and feather any and all American diplomats.

technically it does.

there's no requirement that vendors have to verify your country of origin and asking for that kinda breaks gdpr.

just request your right to be forgotten and they will just comply.

I highly doubt that post was written by an American.

There's literally dozens of us that aren't batshit. Dozens!
